No[o]ne rates Monkey King in patch 7.37d and names best performer on this hero
2024-11-19 15:03:00Parivision midlaner Volodymyr "No[o]ne" Minenko discussed Monkey King and his place in pro play. The Dota 2 player thinks that the hero demands high-skilled performers to fit the meta. He said that only Stanislav "Malr1ne" Potorak from Team Falcons plays MK well enough. The midlaner shared his thoughts on stream.
Is Monkey King an OP hero? I'd say it's a skill-cap hero. I don't think the hero is super OP. It was OP at Riyadh Masters 2024 when he had an 80% or 90% win rate. But if you master Monkey King, then yeah, it's great. But there are very few such players in the world. Malr1ne plays him. He's top-1 or top-2 on this hero in the world. In general, he's the only one who uses MK. Well, kiyotaka plays him, too. But he has his own understanding of the hero.
After his departure from Cloud9, No[o]ne assembled a new team, which was signed by Parivision. The team had a great start for a fresh lineup and finished fourth at DreamLeague S24. They also qualified for the most important upcoming events.
Pariviosion has a tight schedule now. Starting on November 20, they will participate in a small online tournament, 1win Series Fall. After that, they are going to BLAST Slam #1 and ESL One Bangkok.
